A rectangular field has a length of 20 meters and a width of 15 meters. A path that is 2 meters wide surrounds the field. To find the area of the path surrounding the field, we first need to determine the area of the larger rectangle that includes both the field and the path.
Then we can calculate the area of just the field. The area of the path can be found by subtracting the area of the field from the area of the larger rectangle.
What is the area of the path?
